v4.5.0 — Release Reliability
What's new
Turing v4.5.0 is a reliability release for the parts that make the harness usable outside this checkout: the public documentation site, npm/template installation path, scaffold verification, and Claude Code hook schema.
The theme is boring infrastructure. New projects should scaffold reliably from installed packages, generated settings should match Claude Code's current hook schema, and existing projects with legacy Stop hooks now get a doctor diagnosis and safe migration path.
Documentation site
- Published the Zensical documentation site with homepage, getting-started pages, architecture docs, complete command reference, changelog page, and philosophy section.
- Added docs deployment configuration and workflow.
- Polished README/docs prose, diagrams, homepage layout, visual styling, and command reference links.
Installer and scaffold reliability
turing-initnow installs and verifies templates reliably across npm, global command-pack, project, plugin, and node_modules layouts.- Scaffolding now documents derived placeholders and verifies generated projects without false missing-value failures.
- Added npm publish safety via
.npmignoreand removed private/planning/output paths from tracking.
Claude hook schema hardening
- Stop hooks now use Claude Code hook groups instead of legacy bare command objects.
/turing:doctornow checks.claude/settings.local.jsonhook schema./turing:doctor --fixsafely migrates known legacy bare command hooks into hook groups with backups, preserving valid hooks.
